#190 - The most powerful person! Thor is here in person

Chapter 190 The Strongest Esper! Thor Arrives in Person

In the blink of an eye.

Ten days have passed.

The convoy finally arrived in Hancheng.

When they saw the iconic buildings of Hancheng, the many survivors in the convoy were filled with emotion.

"Finally… finally arrived!"

"Yes! We finally arrived. In peacetime, a drive that would take at most two days has taken us almost 12 days this time."

"I really didn't expect that we could actually arrive in Hancheng safely? I originally thought that this trip would be a near-death experience…"

"It was indeed a near-death experience! No! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a certain death. There were so many dangers along the way that we definitely couldn't have overcome on our own. Thanks to our captain and that… person's help, we were able to turn danger into safety."

"That's right, especially six days ago, when we strayed into the territory of the 'Devourer' monster. If it weren't for the captain and that… person… we would have died without a doubt, and we would definitely have been eaten clean by those disgusting and terrifying bugs."

"Tell me, what is the background of that… friend of the captain's? He's too terrifying, right? With one punch, he directly turned the entire county upside down, causing a major earthquake and killing all the Devourer monsters. Even the immortals in myths and legends are nothing more than that."

"He is indeed too powerful. I have never heard of such an esper."

"Before seeing that person, I always thought that espers were just people who could spit fire, play with water, or have a little more strength. I never thought that espers could be so strong? Those evil demons and strange beings are not that man's opponents, right?"

"Haven't you heard? The captain's friend killed a strange being!"

"Too amazing! I wonder if the Thor of the Hancheng Shelter can compare to the captain's friend?"

…

At this time.

The convoy was parked on the outskirts of Hancheng, making final adjustments, and then preparing to go straight to the shelter in one go.

Many survivors gathered in groups of twos and threes, eating and chatting while resting.

Therefore, during the break, the target of everyone's discussion was also Zhao Zheng, with various speculations about Zhao Zheng's background, and their tone was full of gratitude and worship…

On the other side.

Several people were gathered on a modified pickup truck, eating.

"Xiao Liu, have you clearly connected with the Thor Shelter?"

The one who spoke was a man in his fifties with graying temples.

Although this man was not young, he stood very straight, and the characteristics of a soldier were very obvious on his body. Between sitting and standing, he also had an aura of majesty.

He was the "Old Battalion Commander" in Han Chengjün's words, the original leader of this convoy.

"It's already been arranged. They will send someone out to meet us later."

A young man who was gnawing on bread said.

In fact, two days ago.

When the convoy entered Beisheng, they contacted the Thor Shelter via radio.

The Thor Shelter welcomed the arrival of a group of survivors seeking refuge.

This attitude made the survivors of the entire convoy overjoyed.

They had long been fed up with the days of worrying about food every day and being precarious, and they were eager to settle down.

"Battalion Commander."

At this time, a middle-aged man with glasses and a thin figure said, "I wonder if you have realized an important issue."

"Oh? What's the problem?" the Old Battalion Commander asked.

The middle-aged man said, "Battalion Commander, what do you think of the strength of Captain Song's friend?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Liu couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhang, aren't you talking nonsense? If it wasn't for him, could we have arrived here alive? I have never seen an esper more powerful than him."

As expected of a young man, even after experiencing three years of the apocalypse, he still spoke so directly.

The Old Battalion Commander also said, "Captain Song's friend's strength is beyond doubt. The 'Red Eagle Nomad Group', which almost wiped out our entire group before, is the most notorious nomadic group in that area, especially their leader 'Hong Juan', who is almost the king of that area, and is an extremely rare powerhouse even in the entire esper group."

"But such a powerhouse was easily crushed to death in the hands of Captain Song's friend… From this point, it can be confirmed that Captain Song's friend is definitely the top esper today."

Speaking of the latter, the Old Battalion Commander's tone was filled with emotion, and his expression revealed a hint of envy and longing.

If he had Zhao Zheng's powerful strength, he would definitely be able to build a paradise for the survivors that would not be invaded by monsters!

Unexpectedly.

The middle-aged man with glasses smiled bitterly: "The problem lies here! He is too strong."

Hearing this, the others looked puzzled.

Only the Old Battalion Commander's expression changed, and he said, "Are you worried that he will clash with that Thor?"

"That's right!" The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Think carefully, in the past three years, whenever a powerful esper appeared, didn't they all like to stand on their own as kings, unwilling to be subordinate to others?"

"Those who still have kindness in their hearts will just occupy a place, build a shelter, and manage the entire shelter, and at the very least, they will become the nominal supreme leader."

"Those bad seeds simply rob houses, kill people, set fires, and do all kinds of evil, directly exposing their nature."

"Is that so?"

Everyone nodded.

The middle-aged man continued: "The old saying goes well! Two tigers cannot share a mountain. Strong people all like to be alone."

"Since this is the case, what about Captain Song's friend? With his strength, he is enough to protect one side and be a local emperor! Even if he is not interested in doing this, it does not mean that he is willing to be someone else's subordinate."

"Once he enters the Thor Shelter, how to settle that person is probably not only our concern, but the shelter is also very headache, right?"

"If you value him too much, you are afraid of being overwhelmed. But once you underestimate him, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with that person, and if there is a conflict at that time, it will be troublesome…"

Hearing this, the expressions of the people next to him changed.

The middle-aged man did not stop there, and continued: "If you think about it more maliciously, what if Captain Song's friend came to the Thor Shelter in the first place? He obviously has the strength to build a shelter and take in survivors, but he didn't do so… Maybe he just took a fancy to the ecosystem in the Thor Shelter and wanted to take over the magpie's nest and replace it?"

"If this is the case, then the occurrence of conflict is inevitable, and if we are caught in the middle at that time, I am afraid we will be crushed to pieces!"

This analysis directly shocked everyone!

If this is the case, they, as ordinary people, are definitely the first to bear the brunt of the cannon fodder.

"Alright!" The Old Battalion Commander frowned and said, "Don't maliciously speculate about that person! From his many times saving us, we know that he is not an ambitious person."

"Battalion Commander, it's not that I want to maliciously speculate about him, but in this environment, anything can happen," the middle-aged man said. "In these three years, haven't similar things happened often enough?"

The old battalion commander frowned and said in a deep voice, "No matter what his purpose is, the fact is that he has saved us many times. On this point alone, we owe him. Even if he wants my life, it would be justified!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was immediately speechless.

After a moment of silence, he continued, "I'm just expressing some of my concerns, not intending to disrespect him... I hope I'm just worrying unnecessarily."

The old battalion commander didn't say anything.

A soldier in camouflage next to him asked, "Director Zhang, if that kind of thing really happens... what should we do?"

The old battalion commander sighed upon hearing this.

Indeed, people are selfish; heaven and earth will punish those who aren't!

Although the original meaning of this sentence wasn't like this, its literal meaning fits the current situation very well.

Even with great kindness, when it comes to one's own life, most people would probably make a choice from the heart.

"I'm going down to get some fresh air!"

The old battalion commander got out of the car directly, not participating in the discussion.

His position as "battalion commander" had long been nominal, and he no longer had the authority to restrain his subordinates.

Inside the car.

After the old battalion commander left, several people completely opened up the discussion.

Director Zhang said, "Before making a choice, we must first analyze the strength of both sides! As ordinary people, if we want to save our lives, the only thing we can do now is to rely on the strong."

Several people in the car nodded in agreement.

"Director Zhang, I think what you said makes sense," the camouflage-clad man said earlier.

"Okay, then let's do a simple analysis."

Director Zhang smiled slightly.

In peacetime, he was a leader in the city. When the disaster struck, he was the first to escape to the military base, which is how he survived until now...

"Song Hai Tang's friend, I don't need to say more, you've already seen how terrifying he is..."

"Although I haven't met that Thunder God, since he can protect such a huge underground city and accommodate hundreds of thousands of survivors... it means that his strength must also be an extremely amazing existence."

"Who among you knows what achievements that Thunder God has? Especially recent achievements? Tell me everything you know truthfully, don't exaggerate, this is very important."

...

The result of the analysis...

Was no result!

After all, they were thousands of miles away from the Thunder God before. They had only heard of the Thunder God's name and didn't know his true strength at all.

Under such circumstances, there was no way to analyze it.

Suddenly, Xiao Liu made a suggestion: "Why don't we contact the shelter via radio and ask them about the Thunder God's achievements?"

As soon as this suggestion came out, the eyes of several people in the car lit up.

"Yes, Xiao Liu, quickly contact the shelter..."

"I think we can also release some goodwill to the shelter..."

...

On the other side.

Inside the RV.

Song Hai Tang frowned, her pretty face full of frost.

"What's wrong, Hai Tang?" Zhao Zheng asked with a smile, "Who made you unhappy?"

Song Hai Tang looked at the pickup truck not far away and told everything she had just heard.

The distance between the two cars was about thirty meters, and the pickup truck had its doors and windows closed.

At such a distance, Song Hai Tang could still hear the conversation inside the car; her hearing was simply perverted!

Zhao Zheng didn't hear anything.

After listening to Song Hai Tang's account.

Zhao Zheng immediately laughed.

"Don't be angry! What's there to be angry about? There are hundreds of people in a team! It's already pretty good that only a few bad apples have appeared."

Song Hai Tang didn't know why, but as long as it involved Zhao Zheng, she was prone to emotional fluctuations.

Zhao Zheng comforted her again: "The old battalion commander's performance wasn't bad, right? And there are others who are always grateful to us... It's enough to have these people; it's not in vain that we saved them."

"As for those few bugs, we'll crush them when they see hope at the entrance of the shelter!"

Song Hai Tang, who had already calmed down a lot, couldn't help but look at Zhao Zheng after hearing the last sentence.

Then, she said again: "They are using the radio to contact the Thunder God's shelter, and they deliberately revealed some information about you... Do you want to stop them?"

Zhao Zheng waved his hand: "No need, I was originally planning to talk to that Thunder God. I heard that he once escaped from a strange domain. I want to ask him about the information of that domain. It's good for the Thunder God to know I'm coming in advance, so that I don't have to show some means to see him later."

Song Hai Tang nodded: "I understand."

...

Everyone was full and rested for half an hour before setting off again.

The time was already afternoon.

They planned to reach the Thunder God's shelter before dark.

As the convoy drove into the city, everyone became cautious.

According to the news from the shelter, the city was not safe, and many monsters still occupied it.

That Thunder God had personally taken action to clear the monsters in the city.

But after clearing them, new monsters soon came and occupied the territory of the previous monsters.

After discovering this, the shelter simply stopped bothering and let the monsters occupy the surface.

After all, new monsters would appear after clearing them, so it was better not to clear them and collect the original monster information instead, which was safer!

As long as the exploration team avoided the monster territories when going out, there wouldn't be any major problems.

The shelter had also informed the convoy about the distribution of the monster territories.

As long as everyone followed the safe route and didn't make too much noise, there wouldn't be any big problems.

"Rumble!"

Just then.

A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, illuminating the sky.

It also attracted the attention of everyone in the convoy.

"Why is there lightning suddenly?"

"Is it going to rain? We need to hurry."

"Wait... That lightning is a bit strange... It's coming towards us."

When everyone discovered that a bolt of lightning was quickly shuttling through the clouds, approaching the convoy, most of the survivors seemed a little panicked.

Mainly because they had encountered too many monsters along the way, and they had several near-death experiences, leaving a shadow in everyone's hearts.

Although everyone was very panicked, no one ran around.

Because they knew that the safest place was where that man was!

At this time.

Some people also guessed something when they saw the lightning flying over.

Such as Director Zhang and Xiao Liu and others.

They knew that the lightning that was quickly shuttling over must be the legendary Thunder God!
